VOR Ident v Frequency

[Guest pscarratt]

Hi,Does anyone know of a way to display the ident of a VOR/ILS if tuned/known otherwise show the frequency? I can't find a way to check if the ident text is 'true'?Thanks in advance,

Paul,Don't know exactly what you want.You could use something like:%((signal strength enough))%{if}%((show ident text))%{else}%((show nav frequency))%{end}You can compare the ident with morse.Jan"Beatus Ille Procul Negotiis"

Hi Jan,What I want to do is show the ident when the NAV radio is tuned to an active frequency, otherwise show the frequency that is currently 'dialed'.Does that make more sense?Cheers!

Paul,In that case i think my idea will do.I'll try to write some code, have no books here (at work!)((A:Nav1 Signal,bool) (A:NAV1 SOUND,bool) and)%{if}%((A:Nav1 Ident,string))%!s!% {else)%((A:Nav1 Active Frequency,Mhz))%!6.2f!%{end}You should now read the frequency and when the VOR or ILS comes in range, signal and morse, the ident will show up.You can make it work!Hope it helps,Jan"Beatus Ille Procul Negotiis"

You could also use (A:NAV1 HAS NAV, bool) or (A:NAV2 HAS NAV, bool) to check for reception and use the same code as above ( from Jan ) to display what you need/Regards,Roman(KGRB)
